The Polk County Inter-Agency Narcotics Team made several arrests and seized nearly two pounds of methamphetamine in an investigation that began earlier this month.

According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, officials noticed some consistencies in several ongoing drug investigations, including large amounts of methamphetamine and heroin distributed around unincorporated areas of Polk County, as well as West Salem, Dallas, Monmouth, Independence, Falls City and Grand Ronde.

Officials with the POINT team seized about two pounds of methamphetamine and two ounces of heroin, as well as $6,000 in cash and a vehicle. The estimated street value of the drugs was $41,000, the sheriff's office said.

On Tuesday, June 24, William Daniels, 54, of Lincoln City was arrested on charges of unlawful delivery and possession of methamphetamine. On Thursday, June 26, Christopher Perez, 33, of Falls City, was arrested on the same charges.

Authorities said that three other people were arrested in the investigation, but not all were taken to the Polk County jail. They expect to make some additional arrests.
